FAQs Answered by the Pros

What steps should I take to prepare my home for sale?

There are several things you need to know before listing your home for sale!
A frequently asked question from home seller’s before listing is what steps should
be taken before listing their home. Not properly preparing a home for sale can
put a home owner at a huge disadvantage.

The expression “You never get a second chance to make a first impression” is absolutely
true when it comes to selling a home. When selling a home you must be sure that
your home presents itself in the best possible light.

Making sure clutter is at a minimum, freshly painting rooms, installing new carpeting,
or ensuring odors are non-existent are just a handful of things that should be done
before listing your home for sale.

DAILY REAL ESTATE NEWS | WEDNESDAY, MARCH 02, 2016

Since the early 1990s, single women have outnumbered their male counterparts, snatching up real estate at nearly double the rate, according to the National Association of REALTORS®. But this year they’re on a roll, and experts don’t expect that to stop anytime soon.

Single women accounted for 15 percent of all home buyers—the second largest segment of home buyers behind married couples, according to NAR’s 2015 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers. Many experts predict their numbers will continue this increase in coming years, particularly as their average incomes have significantly risen over the last few years.

The median age of single female home buyers is 50, according to NAR. The majority are drawn to single-family homes with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Location matters, too. “They often want to buy to be close to friends or family,” says Jessica Lautz, NAR’s managing director of survey research and communications.

Mary MacDiarmid, a broker with @properties in Chicago, told The Chicago Tribune she’s worked with several single women purchasing condos. She says about a decade ago, this type of clientele routinely brought their parents to showings. Now, she says they do it on their own: “They’re not looking for someone else’s approval.”
